Return of Chandu part 6 by Rabbit Ears - Good. Not great, the vocal performance varies a lot. Sometimes it's rather flat, sometimes it's pretty good. Yes, the riffs do go over A LOT of the dialog. Given that this is so far into the serial and everything (including the formula) is already established, I was okay with it. But to each their own. Personally, it just means there isn't as many riffs going off the dialog. Hey, a live action intro segment! Cool. Reminds me of the Quiptracks: The Show bits. This doesn't really go anywhere at the beginning, though. And at the end, it feels like maybe a reference I would get if I had seen more of their riffs, perhaps? I just kind of shrigged at it. The room is clearly very echoey, though. And the proportion is off, which is annoying (although the serial is fine). The quality of the recording on the woman's lines is not as good as the two guys for some reason.

Her Queen Amidala acting classes have been paying off. (Was it intentional that this riff about her bad acting, itself was particularly badly acted? And she has an excuse, she's supposed to be under hypnosis. What's yours?)

Colonel Mustard, noooooo!

Singing the "Ring of Fire" song in Bela Legosi voice was great.

WHEEL. OF. FORTUNE. FORTUNE. OF. WHEEL.

Of all things to recap in this serial, why remind us of how stupidly the main characters got duped into being captured? The riot fight at the beginning was, for want of a better word, a riot. I do love in these old serials that either they don't have fight choreographers, or just choose to not bother. Resulting in kindergarden melee mayhem! So she wasn't kidnapped, or rescued in this one...really NOTHING happened. And that's even in comparison to the other parts, nothing fucking happened!

The craziest part of Chapter 6 is when the characters are in the most danger, THEY JUST STAND THERE. Not just for one little sequence, but for like 2 whole minutes! That was crazy. So I'm sure that's also how chapter 7 will start off.

Return of Chandu part 7 by The Ghosts on the Big Brown Couch - Wow, what an improvement to their last riff I watched of theirs. Funny across the board! I was nervous about this one, since I hadn't liked their Scrooge riff. I didn't want the streak of good riffs on this serial to be broken, and I don't really like posting negative things on this forum thread. I am curious, people who have watched more of TGOTBBC riffs, are their others more like this one? Good vocal performance all aroud. I really like the amount of interaction between the riffers here. The animated segments before and after are better than the ones in Scrooge. But they still seem rather superfluous and aren't particularly funny. Considering the time it takes to make animation (even flash animation), I'm surprised they went to such effort. That being said, I do appreaciate the effort, and I really like that it makes this group stand out and unique in some way.

"Maybe Maria Alba was the Jessica Alba of her time?" "Unable to carry a film but looked good in tight clothing?" "Exactly."

Chandu! Man of action!

Well, one way or another, Can'tDo here is gonna help us survive. Who wants white meat?

And in the spirit of adventure, Chandu books it in the other direction.

Nothing. Why did it have to be nothing?

Okay, seriously Bela, what is with the standing around! This part spends several minutes reminding us how you didn't do fuck all last time. Did you try to stage a one man strike to get more pay, and they just decided to film it? Now Chandu isn't standing around. He has really changed it up by being unconscious, wandering in the woods, and running away from danger. Oh well, Bob got captured. He's pretty womany, it's close enough. Hey, Chandu got captured! Sorry, but not going to count that as "doing something" for this segment.

Part 1 of The Night The World Exploded by Scott Zee - Excellent riffing, as always, by the marvelous Scott Zee! And this is much more the kind of movie I like to see riffed. It's definitely something I could see MST3K having done. I liked the riffing from the Death Rage, but mobster/assasin/whatever just isn't a genre I care for much. This, on the other hand, has sciency gadgets (although they don't smoke or shoot sparks) and squarejawed male scientist know-it-all.I highly recommend this riff!

I'm not good at reviews, but Quiptracks' Godzilla was excellent. I had only watched their VOD and Airbender riffs, and they both impressed me, so I've been meaning to watch more. Glad I finally did. Had a few set backs with the reauthor though. First, there was no text file for this one, so I had to figure out how much to cut off the beginning on my own. Then my first burn messed up around the 1:45 mark, so I had to re-burn at a lower rate just to watch the last half hour.

As per usual, I don't remember many specific lines, but the "Bell hop of one" line tickled me just right.

Going to buy Girls Just Want to Have Fun, but I realized I may have ruined myself for it because in the preview video I recognized a certain actor...Lee Montgomery, who played Wings Hauser's brother in Mutant. Now every time I see him on screen I'll expect to hear Miiiiiiiiike.

Tried any more Quiptracks lately? I highly recommend the riff of HULK.

I've been pretty busy with work (someone went on vacation at my day job so I ended up with a lot more hours last week) so not yet. However, I'm on day-vacation next week, so I plan on re-authoring Signs and probably the two Jurassic Park riffs, since I have all those DVDs around here.
